IPRs revisited: using process recordings to develop nursing students' critical thinking skills.
Professional nurses must possess critical thinking skills to practice in contemporary health care systems. This paper describes the adaptation of an established strategy for helping students organize their thoughts--the interpersonal process recording (IPR)--to develop nursing students' critical thinking skills. The Critical Thinking-IPR encourages a systemic, theory-based approach to client problems, enables students to become self-directed learners, and engages student and teacher in analytic dialogue about clinical nursing problems.
